Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic Forum

Yes, it is a matter of concern , as it could happen when the blood leaks into the layers of the skin on its own or triggered by minor trauma. commonly seen in thrombocytopenia ( low platelet count) or in bleeding diathesis ( faulty haemostasis mechanisms ).

Here is need for complete blood count and clotting factors evaluation. Consult a Haematologist for the same.
